Girl On The Roof
Stop all the traffic there’s a girl on the roof
There’s no convincing her she won’t accept proof
She’s above it all she’s looking down
Seems to like this view of town
Above the cars above the streets
Sitting on the ledge she’s swinging her feet – right now
She’s looking down, she’s looking down
She’s looking down, she’s looking down
Stop all the traffic there’s a girl on the roof
Standing round and pointing won’t do no use
She’s above it; she’s looking down
Happy on the ledge just hanging around
Wave and shout through your megaphone
Nothing to see here so - move along
She’s looking down, she’s looking down
She’s looking down, she’s looking down
She doesn’t need a reason to explain
This is her world this is her domain
She knows everything she see it all
Watching everything she’s not going to fall
But that’s not the reason why she’s there
Really she just wants to be closer to the sun
Stop all the traffic there’s a girl on the roof
She’s not going to jump; she’s just looking for truth
She’s above it and she’s looking down
She wants to stay above the ground
We’re not going to find truth down there
Got to get up got to get up those stairs – right now
Come on
I’m running up the stairs going to meet her on the rooftop
Get up the stairs
Get on the roof

Maid Of The Grey
Intangible; ephemeral, she’s moving in white mist of mildew
Beckoning, she calls you in, the soft soft cloud, but will you?
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey,
Maid
Step into the swirling breath and draw down deep the damp miasma
See her looming in the fret, coiling tendrils whirl around her
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid
You see her, but not now
You see her and she fades away
You see her and she fades away
You see her and she fades away
She fades away
You see her, but not now
You see her and she fades away
You see her and she fades away
You see her and she fades away
She fades
From phantoms grey stone granite forms as Medusa turns her head
And holds her gaze while serpents writhe; where has the future fled?
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl – carved out of the grey
Monochrome girl
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey, maid of the grey
Maid of the grey
